Terms of Reference – Technical Assistant

1. Background & Rationale

Since October 2020, Interpeace, in partnership with Prison Fellowship Rwanda (PFR), and in collaboration with the Government of Rwanda, through the former National Unity and Reconciliation Commission (NURC), and now the new Ministry of National Unity and Civic Engagement (MINUBUMWE), implemented a pilot program titled “Reinforcing community capacity for social cohesion and reconciliation through Societal Trauma Healing” in Bugesera District. The programme was funded by the European Union (EU) through its instrument contributing to Stability & Peace (IcSP) and aimed at piloting a holistic and innovative approach that simultaneously provides mental health services, advances social cohesion, and promotes sustainable collaborative livelihoods among the targeted community members in its area of implementation.

The objective of the programme was to reinforce social cohesion and sustainable peace through the scaling up of evidence & community-based trauma healing and reinforcing capacity of mental health professionals through the assessment of gaps and challenges in mental health, social cohesion, and sustainable livelihoods to develop evidence-based and context-informed approaches and intervention protocols to address the identified gaps and challenges.

Building on the success, lessons learned and developed resources from the implementation of the pilot programme, Interpeace and its implementing local partners Dignity in Detention (DiDe), HAGURUKA, and PFR, with the financial support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), has expanded the programme into five (5) districts: Musanze, Ngoma, Nyabihu, Nyagatare, and Nyamagabe.

Among the developed intervention protocols, is the Resilience Oriented Therapy (ROT), which is a multi-phase group-based treatment modality for emotion regulation, behavioral self-management, and identity development.
